Victoria Young Head Shield Sovereign Bullion

Best Value Victoria Young Head Shield Sovereign Coins.

These 22 carat gold bullion sovereigns are exempt from capital gains tax and are our lowest premium shield sovereigns. Although these coins are classified as bullion, the coin you receive may be in a better than bullion condition.

Shield sovereigns are often more desirable to collectors than the St George and the dragon reverse coins, as they were only produced from 1838 until 1887.

This coin comes loose. You can purchase a 22.5mm capsule to protect it, or add a presentation case or gift box to your order in the basket for the perfect present.
